Summary "Poems" by S. C. Mercer is a collection of poetry likely written in the early 20th century. The poems included primarily reflect on themes of love, loss, history, and the tumultuous times surrounding the American Civil War and its aftermath. This diverse anthology seems to capture the spirit of the times, conveying both personal emotions and broader social commentary. The opening of the book features a foreword detailing Mercer's personal connections to the Louisville Journal, where many of these poems first appeared. The foreword reveals that the poems often bear a partisan tone, reflecting the sentiments of the turbulent 1860s, with some addressing specific historical figures and events, such as Abraham Lincoln and the battles that shaped the era. It also hints at Mercer's contemplative style, balancing introspection with vivid imagery as he explores both personal and collective experiences during a time of national strife.
